Hardly. Although the telescope was invented in either the Netherlands or Germany, it was a dud. Galileo improved it and invented the first practical telescope with decent magnification. Galileo was an Italian and its not likely that he would improve something that could be used against his own country, although the magnification or "spyglass" aspect of the new telescopes could and were used in military matters.
What else can I help you with?
Why was the invention of the telescope impotant?
Probably because without telescopes people wouldn't know that there were other planets (except that in addition to Earth, you can see five other planets without a telescope, but hey . . .)
Who first said that the earth revolves around the sun and not the the other way around?
Galileo Galilee- defined that through the invention of his telescope.
Did the invention of the telescope lead to more inventions?
Yes, the invention of the telescope led to further advancements in science and technology, including improvements in optics, astronomy, and the development of other optical instruments. It revolutionized our understanding of the universe and paved the way for discoveries such as the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.
Which two scientific inventions most dramatically changed the way people of the 17th century saw their world?
One invention in the 17th century that significantly altered the way people saw their world was the microscope. The other invention was the telescope.
Who took credit for inventing the telescope?
The invention of the telescope is commonly attributed to Hans Lippershey, a Dutch eyeglass maker, who applied for a patent for his device in 1608. However, other individuals such as Galileo Galilei and Thomas Harriot also made significant contributions to the development and improvement of the telescope around the same time.
Isaac newtons invention of calculuc and reflecting telescope?
Yes, he did invent calculus and the reflecting telescope. Those two things alone were enough to make him famous, although he invented many other things, such as a mouse powered mill and an accurate wooden clock.
What could have happened if telescope had not been invented?
Without the invention of the telescope, our understanding of the universe would be severely limited. Important discoveries such as galaxies, supernovae, and planets orbiting other stars would not have been possible. Astronomy and many other fields reliant on telescopic observations, such as astrophysics and cosmology, would be stunted in their progression.
What other things were developed using the refracting telescope design?
the reflecting telescope was!!
What major event in moon exploration happened in 1609?
In 1609, Galileo Galilei made a significant breakthrough in moon exploration by using a telescope to observe the Moon's surface. This led to the discovery of mountains, craters, and other features on the Moon, challenging the prevailing belief that the Moon was a smooth, perfect sphere.
When was the telescope invented and by who?
probably in his house. he was looking at the stars and figured out that when you hold two kinds of lenses in front of each other it magnifies it Galileos lived all his life in tuscony in Italy.
How does a refracting telescope differ from other types of telescopes?
A refracting telescope is a type of telescope that uses a lens as its objective to form an image. This is different from other type of telescopes because it has a objective lens.
What makes the Hubble telescope from the other telescope?
the hubble telescope is a refracting telescope and it is the biggest one because the refracting telescope can only have a certain range of size for the glass lens because it can only hang on the telescope and it is aproximently 5 meters big the lens. hope it helped
